This factory emerged from an old mill making company. The Peppink family has been practicing this profession since the industry worked on wind power. In 1878, one of the remaining windmills of the old bulwark at the Bloemgracht disappeared. The Peppink company rebuilt it on the Haarlemmerweg on behalf of two timber traders.[2].With the further demise of the windmill, the company started to focus on mechanical engineering, in particular on industrial cross mills.

In the spring of 1941, Peppink set up the Pectacon mill and applied for the necessary licence under the Nuisance Act.[3] Peppink supplied a spice mill of the model 300AN.[4] This mill was suitable for grinding finer products.[5]

On 25 March 1942, the license was transferred to Gies & Co.[3] When the inventory from Pectacon was transferred to Gies & Co. because of the 'Aryanization', the two Peppink mills were included.[6]

Kugler later had a small Peppink mill made of stainless steel in his office.[7] Peppinkmolens users included Bakery. W.J. Siemons and the O.V.V. dairy factory.

From 1997 onwards, the Machine factory G.R. Veerman continues the activities of the Peppink company, under the name Peppink Mills.[8]
